American tennis player Taylor Fritz executed a remarkable comeback at Wimbledon, securing a victory over Alexander Zverev in a grueling five-set match. Initially trailing behind, Zverev ultimately succumbed to Fritz’s stellar performance.
However, the true drama unfolded outside the court as Fritz’s partner, Morgan Riddle, took to Instagram to celebrate the victory. In her post, she appeared to take a dig at Zverev, alluding to the assault allegations levelled against him in 2020. She also encouraged other women to passionately support Fritz.
It is noteworthy that Zverev had been embroiled in a case of domestic abuse, facing accusations of assaulting a woman. The matter was resolved out of court, with Zverev consenting to fines to the state and charities. Despite the allegations, Zverev has staunchly maintained his innocence.
During the match against Fritz, Zverev expressed his frustration with the boisterous support from Fritz’s fans, particularly in the fifth set. He also attributed his performance to a knee injury, indicating that he was not performing at full capacity during the match.
As for Fritz, he is slated to face off against Lorenzo Musetti in the forthcoming Wimbledon quarterfinals, following his impressive victory over Zverev.
It is evident that tensions are running high in the tennis world, and with both on-court and off-court drama, it undeniably adds an extra layer of excitement to the sport.
